An Anne Arundel County Police officer, who was part of County Executive John Leopold's security detail, testified that he would drive Leopold to a bowling alley parking lot at his request, so that the county executive could have oral sex with his girlfriend, in another parked car.

Corporal Howard Brown has testified for much of the afternoon at Leopold's misconduct trial.

The Republican county executive is accused of violating state law by asking his security detail, and other county employees to preform political and personal errands for him.

Under questioning from prosecutors, Brown testified that Leopold often bragged about the encounters, which were said were held on Tuesday afternoons in 2010.

Brown also testified that Leopold asked him to "watch the cash box" at his campaign kickoff in 2010.

He also testified that Leopold asked him to set up campaign signs, and remove the signs of his 2010 opponent Joanna Conti.

Brown testified that he didn't think that was a good idea, and he complained about it to two supervisors.

Brown also testified that he was ordered by Leopold to keep criminal background files on his political enemies.

Brown also testified that Leopold ordered him to keep the girlfriend and his live-in girlfriend apart whole Leopold was hospitalized for back surgery in 2010.

Under cross examination, Brown admitted that he knew the live-in girlfriend was at her home in Maine at the time of Leopold's hospitalization.

He also testified that he voluntarily donated money to Leopold's re-election campaign.

Brown also testified he was a number of people asked to empty the urine bag that Leopold wore after his back surgery in 2010.

Earlier in the day, Judge Dennis Sweeney has handed the defense a victory.

Sweeney today approved a defense request for access to subpoenas issued by the Office of the State Prosecutor.

Defense attorney Robert Bonsib argued the records are needed for the defense to show that state investigations of misconduct are "arbitrary."

Over the objections of prosecutors, the judge approved the request, but limits the records to those only in misconduct cases.

Leopold is charged with using his county office staff and his security detail to perform personal and political tasks for him, including installing campaign signs, keeping files on political enemies, and changing his urine bag while Leopold recovered from back surgery.

Anne Arundel County Police Cpl. Joseph Pazulski was the first witness on the stand today, testifying under cross examination from defense.

Pazulski testified that he was under orders to keep Leopold's health problems confidential, and that he had considered Leopold a friend.

Pazulski also testified that the executive detail was becoming more "quirky" for him, when he requested a transfer out of the executive protection detail.

Back under questioning from prosecutors, Pazulski feared that Leopold would block the request for a transfer, as he believed, Leopold retaliated against other employees.

Under cross examination, Leopold also said he could not recall he or any officer being asked to hold onto campaign checks when he drove Leopold to campaign fundraisers. One of the charges against Leopold centers on allegations that Leopold asked his executive protection officers to hold onto the security detail.

The defense has maintained that Leopold did nothing wrong, and there are no rules for what the security detail can do.

Judge Dennis Sweeney is deciding this case, after Leopold waived his right to a jury trial.

The prosecution is expected to wrap up its case this week.

Two Women Who Sued Leopold Watch Trial

Among the spectators in the courtroom are two women who once worked for the county and who are now suing Leopold.

Joan Harris worked in the county executive's office from 2006 until 2010.

Harris says she was fired by Leopold after the 2010 election.

She is not surprised at the testimony she has heard.

"I think it is of deep concern that all of these things have gone on, and I can relate to it, because I remember it vividly, seeing these things happen," Harris told WBAL News.

Harris is suing Leopold for wrongful termination.

Karla Hamner worked as a county spokeswoman in 2007, and 2008. Her position was later eliminated. She is suing Leopold for among other things, sexual harassment.

"It's nice to hear testimony that validates, or corroborates, the claims that were made in my case, Hamner told WBAL News.

Both women are taking notes in the courtroom, gathering information for their own cases.
